5 Twitter Tips

It’s Danielle Kempe taking over the blog today. I’m your MA state
rep and a blogger at Getting Fit in MA.

5 Tips for Twitter

1) Follow
people you find interesting

Twitter
is all about interaction, and if you only follow the default accounts twitter
selects for you, it gets boring quick.

2) Find
people by doing a twitter search

In the
top right of your twitter home screen is a search option. Search for people,
topics that interest you, even hashtags you’ve seen & want to learn more
about.

3) Share
useful content

I use
twitter for a mix of both work & blog interests. My job is fundraising for
a nonprofit, so you’ll often find me tweeting links to stories about
fundraising trends. I blog about fitness though, so I’m just as likely to be
tweeting about an upcoming free workout class. My favorite is when they overlap
& I’m tweeting about a friend’s fitness event that’s also a fundraiser for
a nonprofit.

4) Join
twitter chats

Twitter
chats can be fun to both learn and find new people to follow. Did you know
Northeast Bloggers Network hosts twitter chats?! Their hashtag is #NEBlogChat
and the blog announces when they’re scheduled. I recommend starting there.

5) Have fun

There’s
no wrong way to use twitter, as long as you’re enjoying using it.

I’m DJDIG on twitter. Feel free to tweet at me
to say “hi”. I’m a huge fan of twitter, so I like helping others figure it out.
